Bob's First PC

Build Description
This is my first PC ever, and I decided to build it myself to learn how it's done. It is primarily a gaming rig, where I play games such as Minecraft with shaders and Astroneer. I also do some rendering and video editing for my Youtube channel. I considered the parts list for multiple months, thinking about which parts I can spend less money on and for which I can spend more. Finally I decided on the 3060 for the GPU as it handles pretty much every task nicely and has a relatively low energy consumption.
Favorite Feature
My favorite feature of this build are the 6 ARGB fans in the front and top that overpoweredly cool the 10700K and RTX 3060 and provide magnificent lighting to the system. It runs nice and quiet and looks amazing in my opinion.
